note: >-
  Hailo's versioning and change history are observable through GitHub Releases across the hailo-ai
  organization; the narrative changelog itself lives on the Developer Zone, which is behind a Cloudflare
  bot challenge for our crawler (403). No status page, SLA, deprecation policy or Sunset/Deprecation
  header policy was found — these are device SDKs, not a hosted service, so there is no uptime surface
  to publish. No StatusPage or Deprecation pointer is emitted, because neither exists.
versioning:
  scheme: semver
  current_version: v5.4.0
  released: '2026-08-16'
  applies_to:
  - hailort
  - hailort-drivers
  - hailo_model_zoo
  - tappas
  note: >-
    HailoRT, the PCIe drivers, the model zoo and TAPPAS are released in lockstep on a single version
    number. hailo-media-library versions independently (v1.12.1, 2026-08-10) and hailo-apps uses
    calendar versioning (26.03.1, 2026-04-13).
  parallel_lines:
  - line: '5.x'
    devices: Hailo-10, Hailo-15
    branch: master
    latest: v5.4.0
    released: '2026-08-16'
  - line: '4.x'
    devices: Hailo-8, Hailo-8R, Hailo-8L
    branch: hailo8
    latest: v4.24.0
    released: '2026-06-25'
    note: >-
      Still actively released alongside 5.x. The hailort README states master supports only Hailo-10 and
      Hailo-15 and directs Hailo-8 users to the hailo8 branch — a device-family split, not a deprecation.
deprecation:
  policy_published: false
  sunset_header: false
  deprecation_header: false
  evidence: >-
    No deprecation or sunset policy found in the hailo-ai repositories or reachable documentation. The
    only end-of-support-shaped statement is the master/hailo8 branch split described above.
status_page:
  published: false
  evidence: >-
    No status.hailo.ai; status.hailo.ai, api.hailo.ai, developer.hailo.ai and docs.hailo.ai do not
    resolve. Hailo ships silicon and on-device software, so there is no service to report uptime for.
